DPMS also was one I had looked at I will look at the PSA for sure before I buy sounds like you really like that gun. The two things on the M&P sport I was not sure about was it dose not have a dust cover or a forward assist.
Yes I am partial to PSA because they are located in SC but they make a quality piece. You take it down for cleaning every part in the weapon is manufactured by PSA. You can buy a New PSA for $999 today and its complete with all you mentioned except any Fiber optics. I use BSA Red Dot optics very effective up to 100 yards... BSA is just as effective as the EO-Tech but 1/3rd of cost...For me anything over 100 yards that I want to be surgical with needs a magnifier
I looked at several DPMS but found nothing under $1400+. I will not pay that for a .556.
My next venture is the .308 or NATO .762X54
Very humbling weapon . No hidding from this one...
For the record I DO NOT consider any of these weapons we have mentioned as the first choice for home defense. Sport only. nothing beats a 12 gauge pump with either 00 or 000 buck.
You sound like my kinda guy Swiley ! What hand guns you like ? You into black powder ?
Might as well talk about something until we hear from PJ. LOL
